PlayStation is a big expensive than an Xbox or Nintendo Wii but the hardware on it superior than both of them. Sony was on top with their first PlayStation and then again with PlayStation 2. They were the sole superpower in console gaming. PlayStation 3 is designed to last so don’t expect a newer version (PlayStation 4??) at least for the next five years.
